Want to find that perfect job in sports broadcasting? Here are some outstanding thoughts from our friend, Dan Miller. Very relevant, don't miss this stuff."You're Hired!"
Here are some interesting stats from the July/August issue of INC magazine. The questions and comments are Dan Miller's.
New jobs in April – 119,000
Who did the hiring:
- Companies with fewer than 50 employees – 49%
- Companies with 50-499 employees – 48%
- Companies with 500 or more employees – 3%
You increase your odds dramatically by targeting smaller companies.
What 2012 college graduates say the top priorities are when looking for a job:
- Job Security – 33%
- Salary – 23%
- Health Care and other Benefits – 23%
- Company Culture and Perks – 18%
- Company Size – 3%
If you really want those – start your own business. 72% of college students now say they want to start their own business. Companies are gun-shy about investing training in someone who isn’t going to be there 18 months from now. “Security” goes both ways.
Portion of employers that have rejected a job candidate because of that person’s social-media activity – 34%.
Top 4 reasons those candidates weren’t hired:
- They posted inappropriate photos or information
- There was evidence of drinking or drug use
- They had poor communication skills
- They badmouthed a previous employer
Creativity will do more to open the doors for you to be considered than a stellar resume. What have you done that shows you to be “remarkable” in your job search?
